A huge thank you to the 65 partner organizations that attended Field Education Day on September 11th at the I-Hotel and Conference Center! You were vital in helping to make this day a great success. Over 140 BSW and MSW students attended this event, which offered them the opportunity to talk with representatives from the various organizations and learn about internship opportunities. We couldn't offer the excellent educational experience that we are known for without these partnerships!
